"Esteban and his crew painted the interior and exterior of our house and they did a great job on both. They always showed up at the time they promised, worked hard all day and let me know what they would be doing the next day. When the job was completed everything was cleaned up and furniture moved back in place. I will hire them for any future painting needs."

"Mike came when he said he would and he was friendly and patient in explaining the process. Showed how the process keeps the moisture out of the garage which would be wet all the time on the floor. There were many finishes to pick from and the workmanship is tops. Three day process and our garage looks so nice. It cleans up the look and adds value to the home. Mike is a wonderful person and keeps you updated on everything he does and answers all questions. You will not be disappointed with him or the exceptional high quality of their work."

"I hired Ortega Construction for some light carpentry work around my apartment. They were super nice and super quick. The work they did was exactly what I needed and for a great price. Definitely will be using them again!"
Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
